IF THE TIMING HAD JUMPED, IT WOULD NOT RUN GREAT ON THE NEXT VOYAGE.
MR. COMPUTER IS SCREAMING AT YOU THAT IT HAS SENSED A PROBLEM.
YOUR RIG IS OBD 1, (PRE-1996)
MOST AUTO PARTS STORES WILL READ YOUR CODES FOR FREE, THAT IS, MOSTLY OBD 2 VEHICLES.
IN MY TOWN, "AUTOZONE" IS CAPABLE OF READING BOTH, AND AGAIN, IT'S FREE!
WRITE DOWN THE EXACT NUMBERS, NOT WHAT THE FELLER MIGHT OFFER AS THE SOLUTION (EVEN THOUGH HE MIGHT BE DEAD ON) CODES CAN BE INTERPRETED DIFFERENTLY-NOT KNOWING THE NUMBERS WON'T HELP US AT ALL
WE MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER SUGGESTIONS
OTHER OPTIONS ARE BUY A SCANNER (SOME ARE INEXPENSIVE) HAVE A SHOP PULL THE CODES ('ROUND HERE ABOUT $50 OR SO). "YOU TUBE" MIGHT SHOW YOU HOW TO EXTRACT THE CODES.
ONCE YOU HAVE 'EM, YOU WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO GO ON, INSTEAD OF JUST THROWING EXPENSIVE PARTS AT IT.
CHECKING VACUUM LINES/ ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS/ FUEL PRESSURE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT THE COMPUTER DON'T "CHECK" BUT THEIR EFFECTS MIGHT AFFECT THINGS THAT THE COMPUTER DOES MONITOR.
JUST TRYING TO SHOW YOU THE EZier THINGS TO CHECK 1st, BEFORE YOU MIGHT GET IN DEEPER.
(THANK GOODNESS, MINE ARE OLDER AND HAVE CARBS!)
